There is a humbling reality
while we try to understand
how our own brevity
can impact our command
~
Last night I dropped acid
on textbooks in minutia
my anger erupted an acrid
forced freedom inĀ Ischia
~
We can so easily fall away
the choices will fuel martyrdom
I remember that one day,
I felt the earth in my kingdom.
~
but it slipped away as any
ego driven desire will go
I’d forgotten my way many
days before I’d begun to know.
~
Perhaps I’ll settle in the knowledge
We can bring them in off the ledge.
